MOLAN Family History

Recorded in many spelling forms including Moline, Mollan, Mollen, Mollene and Mollin, this most interesting surname is Anglo-French, and sometimes with a dash of Viking.

Secondly, it may be of Anglo-Saxon origin, from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "mylen", meaning a mill, ultimately from the Latin "molina", to grind. Hence, the surname may be a topographical name for a dweller by the mill, or an occupational name for a worker there, from the same source...
